[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course I would be alarmed.  Can you talk to your sister?

I'm a single mom and I understand that leaving children with care takers is necessary.  Does she have options other than boyfriend or is he convenient?  I hope that your nephew is just going through a phase and there is nothing serious going on, but listen to your instincts.  This is one of the reasons I don't even date much.  I really don't know if I would ever be able to leave my child with someone else.  I know that a lot of people do, and it's perfectly fine.  It's my issue mainly, but I'm just being overly protective.[/quote]

You can leave your child with lots of people.   But if your child starts crying when you leave at the age of 10, that is a big huge red flag!!   Especially if that person is your boyfriend.  Find a nice neighbor lady or grandma or female college student or the list goes on.

Your boyfriend should be interested in spending time with YOU, not in watching your 10 year old child.   [/quote]
